  • Clean, Non-Distressed Finish: Polished and versatile for everyday wear, casual outfits, and travel.
  • Balanced Leg Opening: Designed to feel flattering through the leg without feeling tight or restrictive.

Black denim that works with everything.

Fit & Fabric

Fit note: True to size with minimal stretch. Most customers find this matches their usual department store denim shorts size.

Shopping boutique brands? Most customers prefer to size up one size from their usual boutique size. If you wear a size L in Judy Blue, you will wear a size XL in The Lexie.

Ava Lane Denim

Ava Lane denim is designed with intention. Every pair features our signature hip-to-hip tummy control panel, thoughtfully engineered to provide smoothing support without sacrificing comfort. We use premium stretch denim designed for comfort and movement while holding its shape wear after wear.

Our premium denim is made with pre-shrunk fabric to ensure long term fit and durability over standard denim. Each pair includes a personal message from our founder on the inside panel, reflecting our commitment to creating denim that supports real women and real bodies.

Every Ava Lane denim style arrives in a custom pink box that is giftable and thoughtfully designed for a premium unboxing experience.

We are proud to work with manufacturing partners that use responsible production practices, including water saving dyeing techniques, energy efficient machinery, and material reuse wherever possible. This allows us to create denim you can feel good wearing in every sense.
